Sitting here sweating as night falls while waves of sound, monks' chanting, surrounds me 360 degrees. Ethereal echoes are coming out of the darkness and the sound is everywhere. It is taking up all the space and there is no other sound in the sky. Suddenly the chanting stops and there is a dead silence.

It must be time for another beer.
Happy New Year all.

Happy New Year. Going back tomorrow and can't wait.

Partying at my uncle's, just drinking beer and wine. Grilled chicken and American beef are on the menu. I think I'm doing New year's at my cousin's work tomorrow. I'm hot, always hot.

Food poisoning! Wouldn't be right to have an uneventful holiday At least this bed is comfortable.

I haven't had a solid dookie since I've gotten here

Whenever I was in Cambodia I would make my own food. Thought taking a chance eating out yesterday would be okay but so far that hasn't worked out.

To be fair though, my last trip to the U.S. also got me food poisoning last year.

You're high again aren't you?

I don't know how to cook my own food, my house still doesn't have sugar. All I have is beer and dryish beef.

Where is the dryish beef from? Here? Fugidaboutit! Just drink.

It's quiet in the outskirts of the capital. I'm glad the main part of the family is from Chhba Ampul so there's no reason for an exodus to some remote hometown. Some of the family do come from a remote village near Oudong, it's not far from the city (40 km?) but is across the Tonle Sap and doesn't have any roads that connect to anywhere useful.I don't like spending time in the sticks.
